Dear Student ,

As per the requirement submitted above , kindly find the below solution.

Asp.net stands for Active Server Pages for .NET.In Microsoft .NET stack asp.net is used for design and development of web pages or web application.

Purpose of the ASP.NET engine :

• ASP.NET engine is responsible for handling income request from the client , process that request and send the response back to the client that is on the browser.
• ASP.NET engine contains number of http modules hence asp.net engine sometimes called as ASP.NET HTTP pipeline.

software packages must be installed to serve ASP.NET web pages from a computer :

• To work with asp.net this means to create a website or web application both contains web pages and these and all these web pages having extension .aspx.
• To serve these web pages from a computer need to install a server and these server is called as asp.net development server.
• Asp.net server can not be installed separately , it by default gets installed when Visual Studio gets installed.
• Visual Studio is Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is used to design and development of asp,net web pages.

@Page directive :

• Asp.net contains a list of page directives that means commands and these page directives are used by compiler when page compiles.
• @Page directive is used give attributes for asp.net compiler and page parser.
• There are couple of attribute that can be specified like Language , MasterPageFile , Trace , AutoEventWireup , CodeFile etc.
• Example : <%@ Page Trace="true" language="C#" %>

event handler you would use to have code execute each time the ASP.NET web page is loaded :

• Asp.net web page goes through a life cycle and page life cycle is collection of event handlers.
• Page_Load() event handler is used to write code that execute each time the ASP.NET web page is loaded.

checkbox with titled Place Code in a Separate File :

• When this checkbox is selected then design of a web page and c# or vb code for a web page are separated in to two files called as , here assuming web page having name default and language is C#
